Messi's Miami Millions: More Dough Than a Croqueta Empire
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami? It was a match made in soccer heaven, or at least a match made with a whole lot of money. We're talking vaults overflowing, Scrooge McDuck levels of cash. So, how much did Messi score with this contract? Buckle up, because it's about to get ridiculous.

QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
They said what?! Messi's contract with Inter Miami, signed in 2023, was reportedly worth a staggering $125-150 million over two and a half years.

- A hefty base salary: We're talking $12 million a year, which is more than most people will see in their entire lifetime.

So, was it worth it for Miami? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: Messi's arrival brought a global spotlight to MLS, and his jersey sales are probably funding a new stadium wing shaped like a giant soccer ball.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
